His »odesty consists in announcing himself is a candidate for the office of connty Treasurer, County Clerk, County Su­ perintendent of Schools, (what's to become of the office of County Judge?) and his merit consists (according to 'his idea) in the assumption of the abil­ ity to fill these offices ably and effi­ ciently. Why not give him all the «tflce« in the county, and then throw In a few State offices and such like on the principle of the Paddy puttin.g a half bushel ©f eggs under a setting ben --"to give the old bird a chance to ||>read heiself.-"--Marengo Republican. That would do HO good. McD. has tpeen sitting on that old "office-seeking'" so 1«ng that it has become rotten, gnd offensivo to the people. L»t him ttackle to his hearts content, as it is the +uly consolation he has. ** However, they relied iffytn* for- Irtablc home support, and Mr. Lath- pV^ciTil service," to the extent that t least U would protect the appoint- nts from polititians in Iowa and lsewhere. Mr. L-athrojj, however, has feen tit to adopt the "do-nothing-" poli- #y, and let ex-Gov. Carpenter, of Iowa, ||nd other •'foreigners" dispense the ritronage of his district. That may be policy suited to his tastes, but a "do-~ thing" programme in Kane county t fall would have saved Mr. Lathrop he trouble of adopting any kind of a policy."--Elgin Advocate.

To secure the arrest of any person for vagrancy, a complaint ujut t bo made before a justice or other com­ petent officer. It ift said that a dollar a day ls vol nougli for a wife aad tfce or six <;hlld- n. .No, not if the man smokes and rinks beer. It is not enough if he ex- ts that they are going to have not nly food and raiment but amusements hat a*e expensive. It is not enough "they are to Jive as he would be glad have them live. It is not enough to ^suable them to live as perhaps they #vould have a right to live in prosper­ ous times. But is not a doTlar a day Bjsnough to buy bread with?- Water 4^F>ht8 oothing; and a man who cannot *pve on bread is not fit to ttve." The above is the Jauguage of Henfy "Ward Beecher, the Bev. Divine of Beeeber and Tilton notoriety, la a ser­ mon recently . px&ached by him. A Man who never soiled his bauds with a days work In his life, and for two ser­ mons a-week is paid the princely sum of $25,009 a year, talking of a man sup­ porting a wife and six children on one dollar a day! Great God, .pretending te preach the Gospel and then preach a xloctrine recommending the grinding of the face of the poor that ho may live at his ease, and spend his leisure hours in desecrating thte hearth atones «f his parishoners. He says **a man who can­ not live on bread and water is uot lit to liver He better have said there are many (like himself,) who "wear the cloak,n had they had their Just deserts would have been eating "breadaud wa­ ter" behind the bars long ago. MS9*There is gratifying encourage­ ment to believe that the United States and Mexican government .are at last co­ operating cordially and efficiently in suppressing incursions by filibusters and taitle-thieves. Previous to the firm stand taken at Washington in re­ ference to the plunder of the Texan border by bands of marauders from across the line, and the instructions to Gen. Ord to pursue the thieves where- ever their flight should lekd our troops, the Mexican Government manifested very little concern either as to prevent or punishment; 1mt now thing* have changed, and we find the two Gov*ern- mente working harmoniously together for the protection of life and property oh the frontier. Mexico could better, afford to exert some fprce and render unnecessary the execution of the alter­ ative authorized by Gen. OrdV in­ structions, than to pursue the policy of do-nothing and care-no thing and then make a fuss about ah invasion of her territory, and recent advices indicate that the joint police arrangement works admirably, and that the days of the cattle-thief are numbered.--Trib­ une. .xrv Furniture and Notions.

Please read what some -of the leading papers say: (From the New York Daily Witnenn:) "It is an exceedingly graphic account of 4 brief prison life. Mr. Payne certainly has the faculty of" making others" Hee and fee las he hat felt and seen, and we tind food for amusement as well as sympathy jnsiie prison walls." {From the Jersey City Evening Journal.) , "Mr. Setb Wilbnr Payne's new book 'Behind the UHI-S,' is unquestionably the most thrill­ ing work that ha* come from the press of this country during the present year. It abounds in patkes, aud i-t is im^o^sible for any one to read some of its chapters with dry eyes. W*e have no d«ubl ibis work will meet with alarW saie and thousand* of *yell-lx»und readers.' •(From the New York Herald.) "It U a very interesting bo«k and gives soar# hints of priron life which are valuable." (Fr»vi (he New YorkMar) "Prison literature includes many of the greatest monuments of human genius. Ban­ yan wrote his 'Pilgrim's Progress' while in Jail; Italeigh composed his 'History of the World' in prison, and Scth Wilbur Payne wrote 'Behind the Bars' while in the same unpleas­ ant predicament. While employed in scrub­ bing the pavements and sweeping the lloorsof his temporary abode, he managed to interview as many ot his companions as possible, and wrote out their stories for this boek. The wor* is unique in style as well as subject, and tells many wholesome truths." (From the New York World.) "Its matter is interesting and the sterr well .told. • (From the Jersey Oity Herald.) "Behind the Bars' is a thorough-going, de­ tailed and nervous account of the author's own experience, his trials and hardships, and those of other prisoners during his confine­ ment of eleven weeks in the Albany Peniten­ tiary. .Mr. Pavne was sent to prison for one of .the noblest acts of man, defending a betrayed and ruined woman from the assaults of a cor- rnpt court." (From the Hohoken N. Jf. Xtics.) "The author presents his views with such S charming and inimitable frankness and good humor, that we are speill-bound while perus­ ing his prison experiences. It has all the vl. vaeity of a novel, glowing with life and radient with beauty," (Frovithr Nc-u- York Evening Mail.) "Mr. Pa.Tne's new book is very interestin and should begeneriUJ v read.
